Bulldogs Britney Gutknecht and Kaylee Kimber have signed on for the 2025 NAB AFLW Season.
Gutknecht arrived at the Kennel via Pick 48 in the 2019 Draft and has played every match this season.
One of her best outings came against Sydney, booting the match-winning goal to go with 15 disposals and five tackles.

Kimber’s story is one of persistence, signing as an injury-replacement player days before the season-opener to play eight of a possible 11 games.
She enjoyed a particularly impactful performance in Week 9 against the Saints, registering 12 disposals, two marks and 224 metres gained.
“We’re really pleased to secure Brit and Kaylee for season 2025,” Bulldogs AFLW List Manager Dan Fisher said.
“Brit’s toughness and footy IQ were valuable assets forward of the ball this year. After a season-ending injury in 2022, she played every game this season for the first time in her career; a testament to her resilience and the work she’s put in.
“Kaylee had a whirlwind year after being delisted by Gold Coast, enjoying a standout QAFLW season and then earning the last spot on our list just days before Round 1.
“She didn’t miss a beat, fitting into the group seamlessly with her speed and aggression as a defender.”
